CHRIS W Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I saw this bar on Wietze's site. I have a question about it. With a combatants EK2 and a Honor Cross with Swords shouldn't the Albert Order have swords also? Without any indication of prewar service on the bar it shouldn't be a peace time award should it?Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Nope, if it was, it would have been behind the Honor Cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS W Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) Thanks Stogie Why would a combatants bar have a Albert Order without swords?Chris Edited July 28, 2006 by CHRIS W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 It's possible a pre-war SA3b winner only got an EK2 during the war BUTthe Albert is mounted reverse UP here-- very likely because looking at the lower front arm turned to the BACK, you can see what looks like a great big full length chip down the left side of the visible arm.I'd say somebody has simply swapped out a normal SA3bX and stuck this in, wrong way up. I hate to think somebody would have snipped swords off a wartime military piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
